The Readers' Room
'A cracking literary murder mystery'Ā Tatler
From the bestselling author ofĀ The Red Notebook
When the manuscript of a debut crime novel arrives at a Parisian publishing house, everyone in the readers' room is convinced it's something special. Editor Violaine Lepage snaps it up - who cares that the author's identity is a mystery? And when the book is shortlisted for France's highest literary honour, she shares in the glory.
Then a series of murders takes place in circumstances strangely reminiscent of those in the book. With the prize announcement approaching, the police are asking questions - and Violaine is more than a little worried about her own secrets coming to light...
Translated by Jane Aitken, Emily Boyce and Polly Mackintosh.
Antoine Laurain was born in Paris and lives there still. He is a journalist, antiques collector and award-winning author of ten novels, includingĀ The Red NotebookĀ andĀ The President's Hat. His books have been translated into 25 languages and sold more than 200,000 copies in English.
